At the risk of arguing against my own interest (I’m a lawyer), requiring a 
submitter to retain a lawyer in license drafting and/or review is a potential 
barrier to entry (lawyers being expensive) and could come across as the process 
being taken over by lawyers (and possibly even a limited group of lawyers).  
I’m not sure that helps with the perception issues other are expressing in 
threads the past few days

Drafting or review by a lawyer is no guarantee of quality, and I’d submit that 
drafting and review by a non-lawyer is not a guarantee of non-quality (pardon 
the triple negative).
